This is a nice short tutorial on how to create symbolic links in Windows.
We've found that symlinks are incredibly useful, and use them all the time. However, you can get into trouble using symlinks if you aren't careful. It's even possible to permanently damage your filesystem. The symlink is a powerful tool, and should be used carefully. When you're ready to learn, click to the next page.
Symlinks work best in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (OSX also includes symlinks, but we'll talk about them later). While they're lightly supported in Windows XP, they aren't quite as transparent to apps as in the later OSes, and we haven't tested them in XP, so your mileage may vary.
